What we're all about

Justine & Megan’s philosophy

For all of us at The Strand Veterinarian, our ambition is to create a care environment acceptable to the most discerning of clientele, our own precious four-legged familiars. A place to be nurtured and healed – a place where intuitively they feel the heart behind our service, and trust us to look after their best interests when it comes to their health.

When we talk about ‘heart’, for us that means a high standard of customer care, a commitment to increasing the skills and knowledge of our extraordinary team, and the creation of a space where love, respect and understanding of our client’s special relationship with their animal companion takes place.

Animals are magic in our lives – they are tangible manifestations of love – they are the bringers of joy and happiness. What could be more important than that?”

With 250 million odd nasal receptors, a curious attitude and a love of swallowing foul things, all dogs are at risk when walking around harbours and beaches. After heavy seas, deadly puffer fish are a common finding washed up on the beach.

If you do not want to keep your cat indoors/ your cat does not tolerate indoor life, there are a few things that you can do to protect them from other cats, dogs and cars.

What our clients say

As translated by their humans

Lonely Miaow has been rescuing stray cats and kittens from all parts of Auckland since 1995 with numbers now totalling 12,800. Sadly there are many more needing help and so since 2009 we have been delighted to partner with The Strand Veterinarian. These rescued strays are often sick and lacking in sociability. They require an immediate veterinary checkup by vets who know how to handle them sensitively, diagnose and treat their immediate problems, give pain relief and settle them into a warm and quiet environment whilst they await collection by a caring Lonely Miaow foster home. The Strand Veterinarian do everything required in a professional and caring manner. They, and we, could not ask for more.
